Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a reproduction print after the famous painting by Tang Yin (1470–1524 chinese, Ming dynasty, early 16th century) "The Thatched Hut of Dreaming of an Immortal ". According to the Freer collection the translation reads:
"Comfy at his hidden desk, pillowed on books he dozes
In his dream he enters that other world inside a pot
Seeming to take the appearance of the Unseen Unheard
He can impart the true procedure of the Great Return".
The print in your possession was produced in the 20th century for home decor. The estimate is based on similar offered or sold at auction.
